- A sped up look at making a set of resin dice covered in bright rainbows on a black background. This set of dice might look simple at first, but it took a little bit of thinking to figure out how to get the colors in such thin stripes across the surface :)

Those are insanely gorgeous -- I'd call them Dark Side of the Moon... :) Thank you for sharing your entire process and your diy pour cup!
Oooh, maybe I'll change the name of the video, that's a better name, lol
There is no dark side of the moon really. It’s all dark
@@alexbien8638 Look at Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album cover.
Wow. And here I am just trying to get two colors to play nice
I wish I understood all the steps you did. The dice are beautiful.
The finish work on those baby boys is intense 😳
I could probably find a quicker method, but they just end up so shiny this way!
Those turned out very cool. I wonder what it would look like if the black resin was translucent though. Like would you see a spiraling rainbow all through the dice?
I actually tried that recently! I should have made the colors a little more opaque, I think, but it did look really cool with all the rainbows spiraling in layers over themselves. If you want to see them, I took them out of the molds in the only short I have on my channel, lol.
That technique of making the distinct stripes is so smart and cool. I'm definitely going to try that one
This is incredibly stunning, i hate there's so little comments how beautiful this is
Aw, thank you :)
Wow, these are gorgeous! I was showing my dad your two tarot-themed dice videos yesterday (he’s a tarot reader), and I saw the thumbnail of this video while scrolling through your channel for the videos. Had to pause for a second to admire how pretty these are, and I’m glad RUclips recommended this video, otherwise I would have forgotten to watch this.
(It’s also incredibly impressive how you managed to pour all the colours into the tiny little sections in the cup with minimal spilling into other sections, hahah)
How long does it need to wait to dry resin? I am making one too 😮
My knee-jerk reaction was, "why did they spend all of that time on making a split pour cup?!?"
I go back and realize it's maybe a 2oz cup. Great work!
THIS IS SO AMAZING!! i have a question do you use pressure pot? what psi? My god am in love with this
Yes I do use a pressure pot. I usually set it to around 35-40psi
They are incredible! Congratulations on your work. I have a question, ¿Where did you have the 20' mold personalized with your logo made?
I got master dice made by revel broker (www.patreon.com/RevelBroker/) and then made the molds myself :)
Those are amazing
How long did you wait for the resin to thicken before pouring it? Ive tried something similar and the colours mix together too much!
I usually wait for a certain thickness of resin more than a certain time, but it's towards the end of my work time for sure. I want it to be honey-like in consistency when I pour.
I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard of people making multiple dirty pour cups and then pouring them at different measured intervals (10 min, 20 min, 30 min, etc.) to see what timing works best for them.
Wow. NIce work! how long have you been perfecting your process?
I started in 2020! Dice making was kind of my covid quarantine hobby that snowballed, lol
класс
I wish I had half the supplies you do
I def have a problem with wanting to order all the pretty sparkly colors, lol.
That said, I didn't start off with all these colorants and things- I got a lot of them over time and as projects called for them. Some of them I bought new online, some of them I got from friends and family who changed hobbies or didn't need them anymore, some I found secondhand online, some of them are spices and printer toner and other random things I scrounged up to try, and a few of them even other people bought because they wanted the specific material/color in a set of dice I was making them, and they told me to just hold onto the rest. I didn't just get everything overnight :)
Even the pressure pot and molds- I didn't have those at first, I was just using cheap molds from Amazon and making bubbly dice for fun!
Wow absolutely stunning 😍 you do such amazing work!
Aw, thanks!
AMAZING!!! These are astounding.
stoked! so beautiful! thanks for sharing! i'm inspired to create!
Hey I promised I'll watch here as well :D Also with the mandatory algorithm comment.
Those are amazing, will they be available to purchase on your site?
This set was a commission which means they were for a particular person, but I definitely want to make more in the future!
Wow. Those are gorgeous!
I'm so glad I got this video recommennded, these dice are gorgeous
Also I love how the video is sync with music
Thanks! I have a lot of fun making videos like this where the music and video cuts line up, lol
These look so ridiculously beautiful, i wish i had my own set
Same, tbh. I should really make some more, lol
Hi new subscriber here 🤗 I just got into making dice I love your content. You gave me some great ideas ❤️
Aw, thanks! Best of luck with your dice making journey :)
that's so cool! the effect looks holograpic!
first of all, excellent video, very nice dice, but I see something that makes me noise, apparently you use ceramic media first and then natural media, I understand that natural media should go first and then ceramic, have you tried this?
So I've switched back to just using the hardwood media since this video, because the ceramic just wasn't my cup of tea, but the reason I did it in the order I did here is because I felt like the hardwood gave me a better shine. I finished up with that so that I ended up with them as shiny as possible.
those gave me chills! the effect looks so nice qnd psychedelic! the music choice for the video was great but it would have been a perfect vid if the reveal where you take them out of the molds was in real time playback! such craftsmanship should be savored!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind for future :).
This is so cool. It looks like you polish them twice? Why's that? :)
Because I'm far to worried about how shiny they are, lol. The first tumbler works a lot faster in polishing them, but I like the shine I get from the second tumbler better, so I just use both.
What media do you use in your tumblers? And what's your tumbling process? The shine/quality is amazing! ❤
@@heatherlull9436 The one that I've found gets the best shine is a hardwood cube medium (I get it from Kramer Industries online. It's a little spendy, but works well) with Meguiar's PlastX polish. The other tumbler in the video, that I think works faster but not quite as shiny, is a ceramic sphere medium with a water-based polish (I can't seem to find it right now).
I've changed my process a bit since this video (I'll actually have a video out in a couple weeks that shows off my entire sanding and polishing process), but lets see... short version of how I'm currently doing things...
I sand any lips, bumps, or flashing off the dice using the sanding wheel, then give them a pass of 1000, 2000, and 3000 grit 3M sandpaper on those faces, then I put them into the tumbler with the wood cubes and some of the PlastX polish. I run that for a couple days and then come back and check on things. They're usually not quite shiny enough for me then, so I add a little more polish and run it another couple days. That repeats for a couple weeks until they are like glass :)
Amazing!
Awesome dice set! I was wondering how do you get your cast so bubble-free?
I let everything cure in a pressure pot, which makes any bubbles near invisible :)
They look amazing ❤
perfectly executed
WOW❤❤❤❤
Wait, so what is the process where you put them in those blue tubs around 4:13?
Those are vibrating tumblers I use to polish the dice. They have some sort of medium in them to vibrate against the sides of the dice, and then I add plastic polish to add that nice shine.
For how long do you tumble them?
Nice set of dice, will there be a live stream today or can you not manage that?
